Classic looking machine. I just love steam engines, we had Oliver Cromwell in the town where I live the other week, what a monster.

Built in 1923 by Sir Nigel Gresley, and withdrawn in 1963 by BR. The Flying Scotsman, was famous for the non-stop journey from Kings Cross to Edinburgh in 1928. Now at the National Railway Museum and currently being restored by the Museum's Preservation team, she should make her return to main line trips in Spring 2011.
